My position on the Koran burning in Florida by a
whacko church aligned with the vile anti-military, anti-semitic Westboro
Church that defiles the funerals of our honored fallen soldiers:

1. This church's plan to burn the Qur'an does a grave disservice to the cause of spreading awareness
about Islamic teachings and the threat that Sharia poses to our way of
life.

2. The burning of books is wrong in principle: the
antidote to bad speech is not censorship or book-burning, but more speech. Open
discussion. Give-and-take. And the truth will out. There is no justification for
burning books.

3. If Americans are free and not under Sharia, then the
church can do this if it wants, and their freedom and rights should be
protected. Islamic supremacists should not be allowed a victory for their
violent intimidation -- if these people want to burn a book, they're free to do
so.

4. If they were burning a Bible, no one would be threatening violence
against them.

5. Petraeus is wrong to say this will threaten American
troops. This is based on the assumption that they are fighting us because we are
doing things they don't like. Actually they are fighting us because of
imperatives within the Islamic faith. They will never like us unless we convert
to Islam or submit to Islamic rule. If we stop doing things they dislike, where
will we draw the line? How far will Sharia advance in the U.S., with Americans
afraid to stop its advance for fear of offending Muslims and stirring them up to
violence? The Muslim Students Association is already pushing for halal
cafeterias, segregated dorms, segregated gym facilities on campus. This is
incompatible with American freedom. We have to draw the line.

Tonight Eric Bolling had me on with the two of the named co-conspirators in the largest Hamas funding trial in American history, Safaa Zarzour, Secretary General of the Muslim Brotherhood front The Islamic Society of North America, and Hussam Ayloush of the Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR-Los Angeles.

In other words, despite incidents such as this, and
this, and
this, and
despite the fact that
hatred and Islamic supremacism are taught in a number of mosques in the
U.S., he wants law enforcement officials to turn a blind eye to the
possibility of jihadist activity in mosques. And meanwhile, he also wants to
take the Qur'an off the table -- that is, he wants no investigation of the
stated motives and goals of the jihad terrorists themselves. Apparently he would
prefer that we remain in the dark about them.

Which side is he on again?

6. Although
I oppose this venture, this is another challenge to the U.S. to stand up for
free speech and free expression. Popular speech needs no protection. As such all
Americans should support the right of the church to proceed, even if they
dislike what they're doing.
